Anyone remember TOUCH? The band that opened the first ever Monsters Of Rock at Donington in 1980.
Before there was TOUCH, and their amazing & criminally good classic AOR/Hard Rock debut album, there was American Tears, in the mid-seventies. Although more of a progressive symphonic keyboard oriented rock cult band than their later to come masterwork.
Originally a trio, but the late line-up was:
Craig Evan Brooks (vocals, guitars)
Mark Mangold keyboards, vocals)
Glenn Kithcart (drums, percussion)
Kirk Powers (bass, backing vocals)
Anyway, if you're interested, it's worth having a listen.
Their first album:
American Tears - Branded Bad
Sweet Changes
Doctor Abreaction
Low Down
Need You Badly
Crooked is Quicker
Pauline
Lock and Chain
Take Me LordLouie (I've Been Arrested)

Thanks

I was at Donington that day. Seemed a great band to me. The version of Dont You Know What Love Is on the live album of the show is just fantastic.
Hi, as you can see this is my first post here.
I will be happy to get some assistance at the start.
Thanks in advance and good luck! :)
Greets dudes!
I just wanted to say hi :)
It can't work in reality, that's exactly what I think.
